It's me Toby... a dog with a blog!How active are you? How about your pet?Mom and I walk about 6000-12,000 steps together a day, that doesn't include all the running through the house as I chase my toys. I get lots of exercise and I make sure mom and dad do too. When I am in St Albert, I love to visit my friend Kaytie's K9 Awareness Centre and go on the doggy tread mil.

Mom interviewed Tricia Montgomery on her PAWsitive Radio show. Tricia is the CEO & Founder, K9 Fit Club® who is
theNation’s leading expert and pioneer
in human/canine fitness. Her diverse experience in veterinary medicine, public
relations, animal rescue, personal training, and her own weight loss journey
gave her the perfect combination of skills to create a nationwide community of
certified trainers – dedicated to the health, fitness, and wellness of dogs and
their people.

Several years ago, after a visit to the veterinarian with
her dog Louie, Ms. Montgomery realized the need for a fitness program, not just
for Louie, but for herself as well. She ended up losing 130 pounds and Louie
was able to shed four pounds. After her personal journey, she wanted to help
all people and their dogs be happy and stay healthy and fit together. Her
passion and love for both people and dogs led to the creation of K9 Fit Club.
Montgomery introduced the nation’s first online education platform for teaching
the standards of excellence in human and canine fitness. Today, K9 Fit Club is
now turning those certified trainers into franchisees around the globe, as they
roll out K9 Fit Club franchises Summer 2015. K9 Fit Club, giving both humans and canines a New Leash on
